Informatica Cloud SQL Database Staging Area in the Cloud

Given the price of storage charged by SaaS cloud app providers, I think Informatica Cloud should seriously consider to provide a Staging SQL database in the Cloud!

Currently in a 'staged' data integration approach, the client usually has to provision and manage a SQL database on the premise to do SQL abstraction, data cleansing and normalisation of incoming source data.

The benefits of provisioning the SQL Database in the Cloud would be:

It would take away the hassle from the client for provisioning a SQL database and manage it on the premise.

Take the data complexity problem off the premise to the cloud, where the solution can be easily collaborated by external teams/tools too.

Achive better performance in DML operations on data as there would be no governance limits due to multitenancy.

There are lots of cloud SQL database providers which would provide you a vanilla SQL database and 'massive' storage on per implementation basis in the cloud at a low costs. Consider http://apex.oracle.com as one, there are many others including Amazon, Microsoft etc.
